[edit] CFD Discussion

  • This category was listed for deletion on March 24, 2005. Consensus was to Keep. The following discussion took place (please do not modify).

Another useless category with only one scientist in it. This scientist is double-listed in the parent category already. There aren't enough notable socioligists in HK to populate this. Additionally, none of the other sociologists are categorized by nationality, so this sub-cat sits alone, unless someone wants to take on the project of sub-dividing all the other sociologists. There are only 61 of them, so the sub-division doesn't gain Wikipedia anything. Delete! SchmuckyTheCat 19:46, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • So how else do sociologist articles get categorized by their country of origin? In the base level of the "[Country X] people" category? How would someone navigate from a "[Country X] by occupation" to find a sociologist from that country without this? Postdlf 02:46, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • that'd be great if the rest of the sociologists were categorized by country. when this came up with botanists everyone said it was worthless until somone took the time and effort to categorize every botanist. volunteering? SchmuckyTheCat 15:24, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • then start writing, and try to do more than three sentences and a stub link. SchmuckyTheCat 15:24, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • It takes time. There are two articles currently. — Instantnood 22:16, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep A small step in the right direction. All biographical articles should be classified by country and occupation. Wincoote 00:57, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • A category containing nothing but one (or sometimes two) stub article(s) has no use. Delete both this and the rest of subcategories in Category:Hong Kong people by profession. - Mike Rosoft 01:15, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia is a work in progress. Deleting the efforts of people who are pushing it in the right direction is not helpful. Wincoote 01:38, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and be populated. --Shinjiman 06:35, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
